I don't think Newt is the flavor of the week, a candidate who will disappear as we get to know him or as scandals leak. Most of his "supporters" already know him well and don't particularly like or trust him. We all know so many of his personal and professional scandals that none of us respect him. The difference is that Obama and Romney are both so much worse that we'll crawl through broken glass if necessary to vote for Newt. Whether we can just stroll in on a beautiful day and cast an easy vote in minutes, or we have to crawl through broken glass for hours though, we'll vote Newt with a frown. If it could have been Cain, DeMint, Bachmann, or Palin, we would have smiled and voted with enthusiasm, but the alternatives to Newt are so terrible that no American can afford to let the election pass without voting. If we lose, 2012 will mark the last free election in a country recognizable as the United States of America.
Our highest priority for 2012 must be to get conservatives on the ballet for Congress, and to elect as conservative a Congress as possible to restrain whomever occupies our White House on that glorious day when the communist leaves. Obama is the greatest danger to America in our country's history and is taking us down the road to socialism rapidly. Romney would follow that road more slowly, and Newt might follow just about any path from time to time. In any case, we need a conservative Congress to keep the President on track.
Sure ! Newt will loose by a landslide ! We go search for candidates all over the place and ignore tea party candidates like Rick Santorum ! I went to all the tea party gatherings and now I am going to end up voting for Newt who was not a great fan of tea party! God, why are we just throwing this election?
